Sex Offenders and the Law

Getting tough on sex offenders after their sentence is served. A small but growing number of New Hampshire towns are limiting the number of places where registered sex offenders can live: away from schools, parks, or anywhere else children might congregate. We'll look at the debate over how fair - and how effective - these ordinances are.

Guests

• Janice Lindbloom, Concerned parent in Northfield. She helped get the town to pass tougher ordinances on where sex offenders can live.
• Barbara Keshen, Staff Attorney for the NH Civil Liberties Union and a member of the NH Public Defender’s Office.

We'll Also Hear From

• Anthony Colarusso, Chief of Police for the City of Dover
• David Finkelhor, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Crimes against Children Research Center at UNH
